Windows 7: BSOD and other crashes, error 0x800700b7 and others

I'll set up my BSOD problems. I run Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Last night my desktop started, without any seeming cause, to slow down and not respond. I tried rebooting and my Windows wouldn't finish loading-- many of the desktop and taskbar icons appeared as blank pages; clicking anything or trying to run a program failed, until eventually Windows crashed altogether. Attempted restarts have failed; I can run my desktop in Safe Mode (what I am doing now) but that's it.

I attempted System Restores to my two most recent points and they both failed. I attempted to restore from two points previous to that and the restore failed due to error 0x800700b7

Since my computer won't restart or run at all, I tried to boot from a Windows 7 CD and proceed from there. The system restore tools there were unsuccessful, and attempting to proceed further with a new install returned a BSOD that suggested my hard drive may be the problem and, among other things, I should run CHKDSK /F if nothing else works.

I was out of town for the weekend so I wasn't able to get this until now. But I tried everything you suggested and nothing changed. I even went ahead and changed the configuration to create a complete dump after a BSOD and I still got nothing.

I've attached the most recent results from the Seven Forums diagnostic tool.

What is going on? Am I suffering an undiagnosed hardware issue? Am I getting an undetectable virus? I find it bizarre that despite all the precautions I undertake, virtually this same thing happened a year ago to my desktop, and now it's happening to both my desktop and my laptop at the same time.
